Jacks. - Comprises a lifting-jack in which the body part containing the operating - mechanism is adapted for detachable connexion with the car or weight to be lifted and carries one or more adjustable supporting-members adapted to make contact with the ground. The body part 2 in the form shown in Figs. 2 and 3 is provided at the top with inclines which wedge into inclines on a stirrup 6 which can be passed over the springs of a car. The adjustable supporting-members 4, 5 are contained within the body part, the lower extremity of the member 5 being rounded to engage the ground and also provided with a flange 10 which affords an increased supporting-area on soft ground. The member 5 is provided with holes, through one of which and a corresponding hole in the member 4 a pin 13 may be passed. The member 4 is provided with ratchet teeth engaged by weighted pawls on the movable member 3. The jack is operated by a lever 19 pivoted to the body part and carrying a weighted pivoted pawl 17 which engages teeth on the movable member 3, a retaining-pawl 18 being also pivoted to the body part. Provision is made for lowering in the following manner. A trip lever 20 pivoted to the jack body at 21 has projections 20<a>, 20<b> which engage lugs 22, 23 on pawls 17, 18 respectively. This lever is swung by a weighted lever 24 into and out of its operative position, Fig. 3 shows the operative position. On moving the hand-lever 19 downward from the position shown, when the projection 22 has cleared the projection 20<a>, the pawl 17 swings into engagement with the teeth on the member 3 lower down. When the weight is taken by the pawl 17, the trip lever resting on the projections 20b, 23 forces the pawl 18 out of engagement. On again raising the lever 19, the lugs 22, 20<a> engage and the trip lever is raised, allowing the pawl 18 to swing back into engagement with the rack, and the pawl 17 is released. In the modification shown in Fig. 14, the upper part of the jack is formed as a cylinder 26, in which works a plunger 27 carried by a tubular rod 28 sliding in the lower part of the body 2. The telescopic adjusting-members 4, 5 are retained as before. The car is lifted by admitting compressed air or liquid to the cylinder above the piston. Toggle-levers 29 are provided so as to be in alinement at the point of highest lift to provide against slow falling of the load due to leakage.

Capsules and the like, applying; stoppering. -In apparatus for applying sealing caps or closures to jars or other receptacles in vacuo, the door of the vacuum chamber is mounted so that it is bodily moved into and out of position and remains substantially parallel to itself during such movement. The door 5, Figs. 2 and 4, of the chamber 4 consists of two plates 7 bolted together with an intermediate packing 6, and is carried by a pivoted yoke 10 connected by arms 12 to a spring-supported treadle 15. The door is retained parallel to the front of the chamber by an arm 9 pivoted to the top of the door and to the standard 1. A spring-pressed pin 105 prevents shock when the door is closed, and a screw 18 limits the movement of the yoke 10. The chamber 4 is connected to the exhausting-apparatus by a pipe 96 fitted with a twoway valve operated by a rod 98 from a lever 99 which is rocked by a cam on the shaft 37. The valve is normally held open, with the chamber 4 in communication with the atmosphere, by a spring. The bottle-rest 42 is spring-supported at the upper end of a rod 41, which is raised or lowered in arms 2 of the frame 1 by a cam on the shaft 37 engaging an arm on a block 46<a> secured to the lower end of the rod 41. The shaft 37 is driven through clutch mechanism and spur gearing 31, 38 from the driving-shaft 34. The loose wheel 31, Fig. 7, has pins 32 engaged by a spring-pressed bolt 26 carried by a casting 24 keyed to the shaft 37. The clutch is disengaged by an arm 21 pivoted to the treadle 15 and having a segment with a bevelled edge 23 engaging a bevel 27 on the bolt 26. The clutch is arranged so that it cannot engage the wheel 31 until the door 5 of the chamber 4 is closed. The centring-head 78, Fig. 5, of the sealing-mechanism is screwed into the headblock 70, a spring-pressed pin 80 preventing rotation. A bar 82, which may be a magnet and is free to slide in an opening in the head 78, prevents the sealing-cap on the jar from being displaced during exhaustion of the chamber 4. The pivoted segmental jaws 83 on the head 88 are pressed outwards by springs 89.
